Herniation  9.  All  cattle  imported  into  the  United  States  from  any 
part  of  the  world  except  North  America,  Great  Britain,  Ireland,  and  the 
Channel  Islands  shall  be  subject  to  a  quarantine  of  ninety  days,  count- 
ing from  the  date  of  shipment,  this  date  of  shipment  to  be  the  date  of 
clearance  of  the  vessel  bringing  the  animals  to  the  United  States. 
Sheep  and  other  ruminants  and  swine  from  any  part  of  the  world  except 
North  America  shall  be  subject  to  a  quarantine  of  fifteen  days,  count- 
ing from  the  date  of  arrival  at  the  quarantine  station :  Provided,  That 
cattle  and  sheep  imported  for  immediate  slaughter  at  the  port  of  land- 
ing may  be  imported  without  quarantine,  but  shall  be  subject  to  such 
restrictions  as  the  Chief  of  the  Bureau  of  Animal  Industry,  after  causing 
an  inspection  to  be  made,  may  consider  necessary  in  each  case  for 
guarding  the  domestic  animals  of  the  United  States  from  contagion  : 
Provided  further,  That  the  period  of  quarantine  for  cattle  imported 
from  Great  Britain,  Ireland,  and  the  Channel  Islands  shall  be  thirty 
days,  counting  from  the  date  of  arrival  at  the  quarantine  station. 

The  effect  of  this  amendment  is  to  shorten  the  period  of  quarantine 

for  cattle  imported  from  Great  Britain,  Ireland,  and  the  Channel  Islands 

to  thirty  days,  counting  from  the  date  of  arrival  at  the  quarantine  station. 

This  amendment  shall  become  and  be  effective  on  and  after  October 

1,  1909.
